Be kind to your hard-working skin! This homemade body butter recipe will leave your skin moisturized and soft, thanks to rich cocoa butter and coconut oil. We love its whipped consistency that goes on smoothly and feels light to the touch.
Whipped Body Butter
Ingredients
1 cup organic coconut oil
1 cup organic solid cocoa butter (do not use lotion)
15 drops of your favorite topical/aromatic essential oil (we love Cedarwood, Lavender, and Frankincense essential oils)
Directions
Warm a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat, then add coconut oil and cocoa butter. Melt until completely liquefied, about 4–5 minutes.
Pour into a glass mixing bowl and place in refrigerator for 30–45 minutes to cool and just set but not harden.
Stir in essential oils.
Using an electric hand mixer, whip until firm peaks form, about 10 minutes.
Gently transfer to a seal-able jar or container. Store at room temperature to avoid melting or solidifying.
Massage into dry skin!

This looks so heavenly- I will be making this- how about Frankincense or ocotea or endoflex:), any citrus for the summer or copaiba!
Lavendar and peppermint
Geranium. I live its floral scent and I use it for hormonal support
My choice of oils would be lavender and frankincense.
Geranium and Sandalwood, Frankincense, geranium and Lavender, or Lady Sclareol with extra Clary Sage and Geranium. Delicious!
I would try Frankincense and Peppermint in my body butter!!
I am new to essential oils and up in age. I made the Body Butter recipe and love the way it makes my skin feel. Keep adding recipes to use your oils. I love them.
I love to apply body butter made with Young Living Essential Oil on my feet at night! Makes them so soft!❤
I am in love with my Palo Santo right now.
Try 15-20 drops in your recipe for a grounding body butter, perfect for pre yoga moisturizing! Great for outdoor yoga too!
enjoy!
This would make wonderful Christmas gifts! Thanks for the recipe.
